WILL IT PAY.
FRUIT CULTURE IN CALIFORNIA
CAN 1T BE OVERCOME!
Reasons for Believing it Pays and
Cannot be Overdone-How
and What to Plant.

TMr Williamson the writer OF the following
article) is of the firm of w. R. Strong d Co.. nur-
sery and seed men, fruitgrowers and shippers,
Sacramento. He is an experienced nurseryman
and orchardist, q reliable man, careful OBJ
server and conscientious business man. The
article was prepared at our request.-Eps, REC
oRD-UNoS.l
Fruit-growing in this State has assumed
such proportions that it is no longer
looked upon as mere experiment. 1t is
a thoroughly demonstrated fact. do not
think it a stretch of imagination to say
that there is no State in the Union, nor
any one country upon the globe, possessing
the advantages for general and extensive
fruit culture equal to California The
great diversity of our climates and soils
will enable US to grow within the limits Of
this State any and all the fruits that can
be grown in any part of the civilized
world. There are no fruits known to the
commercial world that cannot be success
fully grown in some part of the Golden
State. Especially is this true of the
leading or staple fruits Of commerce.
These include the fg, olive CT orange,
which can be grown TO the
highest perfection on very
large area OF our territory.
We have sufficient acreage in this State,
well adapted to the culture, to raise all the
figs, olives, oranges, lemons, lines, dates,
bananas, prunes, raisins, wines and bran
dies, that now are or ever can be consumed
in the United States, British possessions,
Mexico and South America, and still have
large surplus to export beyond the seas.
When we think Of the millions of dollars
annually paid by the people of this Re
public to foreign countries fo- the very
articles we can so easily produce, our neg
ligence would seem almost criminal. We
not only have the soil and climate to pro-
duce, but the very best climate in the
world in which to cure and dry fruit, hav-
ing no ram during the drying season, and
in very many localities no dews at night
This gives US almost
UNPARALLELED ADVANTAGES
For curing our fruit. Again, our dry eli
mate produces a fruit possessing more
saccharine matter than those grown in a
humid or rainy climate. 1t colors our
fruit higher, and toughens the skin, and
thereby enables US to ship green fruits far
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1887-01-01
A FIFTH REASON

Why fruit-growing will not be oyerdone IN
this State is found in the fact that there
are many insect pests to combat that
very large percentage of planters will be too
careless and negligent to contest the field
with them. and hundreds of orchards will
be neglected and go TO wreck and ruin,
while the persevering and intelligent
orchardists will keep the pests subluSated,
and therefore reap a golden harvest.
Again. many orchards will be planted on
land and in locations not well adapted to
the fruit chosen, and will most likely be
neglected, and such orchards will be ADAM
doned, or, if not abandoned, will produce
an inferior fruit that cannot compete with
the good fruit, which will all the while be
bringing a remunerative price.
And now
SOME HINTS ABOUT PLANTING
And caring for market orchard, and L
will have done: First-Select and plant
none but good kinds buy no trees of any
but responsible nurserymen who are leglt-
imately in the business, and, consequently,
have reputation at stake. Every intelll-
gent nurseryman knows that his success
| depends mainly upon the reliability of his
/ labels, and he cannot afford to ruin his
business by defrauding his patrons, even If
he has no more stamina The unscrupu-
!ous tree-peddler has nothing to lose, as
he does not expect to stay in any one place
long enough for his swindle to be found
out Steer clear of him. As to which are
the best kinds to plant, can only say that
must be determined mainly by what you
want TO grow for, whether for shipping
! green, for drying or for canning. Again,
it depends very largely on your soil, eli
mate and market facilities. If you are
near a good shipping depot, you will dc
well to grow the best shipping kinds, as
there is usually more money in shipping
the fruit green than in drying it; but il
you have not good shipping facilities, ther
/ should plant with special reference tc
drying or canning. In selecting kinds tt
plant, think the best advice | could give
would be to find out what kinds succeed
best in the particular locality where you
are located, and plant there only those

rule. These climatic effects makes it ex

and be totally worthless in another, no
far away, especially if the soils are differ

little money when the entire peoples at

and little or no attention was paid to agri-
culture. In the section embraced in what
Is now known as Sacramento county were
several Of these large grants of lands. A
number of them have long since been cut
up and sold out 10 small farmers.
The Spaniards claimed the lands in Cal
ifornia by virtue of discovery and first oc-
eupation, and, as in the discovery of Amer
lea, the aborigines were considered as hav-
ing no absolute title or right which could
not be conveyed by gift or sale To the
early iocators Spain transferred her inter
est BY grants, being lavish in the extent of
her donations. When the Mexican Gov
eminent threw off the Spanish rule in
1922 they continued the giving of grants.
At the conclusion Of the Mexican war,
and after the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo
had been signed and ratified, early in 1913,
the right TO public lands in California
passed TO the United States Government,
with the provision that the then existing
titles should not be disturbed, and ali
grants heretofore derived through
MEXICAN OR SPANISH AUTHORITIES
Should be respected. The grants given to
these early locators were for definite
number of leagues, included between lines
drawn from certain natural objects to
others. The rule established by the
United States Land Commissioners was to
give the holder of Mexican title the
exact number of leagues called for, to be
located as nearly as possible in the locclity
shown by the map which generally accom-
panied the grant from the Mexican or
Spanish Government. Most of the Mex
lean grants, if not all, were signed by
Governor Manuel Micheltorena.
GeneralSutter's grant consisted Of eleven
leagues of land which has since passed into
the hands Of thousands of small owners.
The Rancho San Juan de los Mokelum-
mes, or "Chabolla Grant" containing 80
332.67 acres, has been cut up into small
holdings, and is all under cultivation.
The Rancho Rio de los Americanos, S.
52l.36 acres, has passed into the hands OF
small farmers, the only large holding being
that of the Natoma Water and Mining
Company, which has 5000 acres.
The Rancho Costumes, or "Hartnel |
Grant" of eleven leagues, on both sides of
the Costumes river, is now in the hands of
small farmers.
The Rancho Omochumnes, Rancho
Arroyo Seco, and Ranches Cezadores and
sacayac, have all passed into the hands of
small owners.
The Rancho del Paso, containing a.
374.42 acres, lies Immediately north of |
Sacramento city, and is the property of J.
B. Haggin.
The Rancho de San Juan, containing up
wards of 10000 acres, has for many years
been in the possession Of Cox & Clark |
and John T. Cardwell. Mr.. Cardwell has
fenced and improved, and offers his por-
ton of the grant, some 400 acres, for
sale.
Messrs. Cox & Clark do not offer theirs
for sale, but as they are business men, who
are ever ready to drive bargain, it is
needless to say that there is none Of their
land but can be bought, and that

such proceedings? Go to the fruit mar
kets in any of the great cities of the
world and we will find fruits of all kinds
green, dried or preserved selling higher
and finding a mere ready market than
fifty, thirty, or even twenty years ago:
Go through the now vast orange groves OF
Florida, and the growers will tell US they
are finding more ready sale for their fruit
and making more money than at any time
in their history.

only by those of the bloated bond

they made it all, and, with the air of lords,
they will point us to an orange grove, or a
vineyard, with possibly but few acres IN
it. But we are asked if this state Of affairs
can continue to exist. Do believe that
fruit-growing will pay in the future as in
the past ? Do believe it will always be

TIL YOU get the right depth to set the tree
SO that it will not stand much, if any
deeper than il stood in the nursery Then
cut the tree down 10 16 or 20 inches in
height remember, the trees have been
robbed of half their feeders, and conse-
quently should be robbed of more than
half their tops One-year-old trees are
the best to plant; they have buds all along
the body, so you can start a head at any
desired height.
TRAIN YOUR TREE Low,
Protect it from the hot sun land conse-
quently from borers), keep your tree grow
ing thrifty and shade the trunk If its
own foliage is not sufficient then wrap with
cloth BY all means protect the trunk of
the tree from the sun the first season. An
extra precautiGn against borers is to put
old {stinking) soap-suds on the body of
the tree about twice, say once about the
middle, and again about the last of June.
This you can do very easily, by tying a
sort Of mop Of rags upon stick, dip it in
the suds, and as you walk along slap each
tree sharply with the wet mop. This
can be done very rapidly. The beetle
that lays the egg is blind he moves by
scent only is very fond of acids. The sun
burns the bark and sours the sap. He
smells this sour sap and "goes for" the
spot But the odor of the suds is repul-
sive to his bugship" and keeps him
away. For further particulars examine
nursery catalogues, or other works on hor-
ticulture, and these are plenty, plain, clear
and reliable I should like to say more
to my readers concerning the treatment of
trees, but this article is already long
enough. l will only add
IN CONCLUSION
That in most localities in Central and
northern California all the following
families of fruit can be grown to profit
Apples, pears, peaches, spricots, cherries,
plums and prunes; almonds, figs and olives,
and, in many localities, especially in the
foothills oranges and lemons do very well
and are profitable. l do not feel that
can well say too much for the almond, the
olive and the fig beg leave to refer to
my essay on the fg* Grapes of all kinds
do remarkably well in nearly all our lands,
especially in the foothills, at an altitude
of from 200 to $500 feet above the sea
level, and always have, and think always
will pay well.

THE GOLDEN DREAMS OF THE
HOME-SEEKER REALIZED.
n Glorious Climate, a Fertility OF
Soil, Diversity OF Products
Not Found Elsewhere.

The tide of immigration has been
steadily turned toward these Western
shores for many years. Ever since Horace
Greeley gave that memorable advice, go
West, young man." the people from the
over-crowded East have been steadily adj
vancing toward the setting sun. The
great valley of the Mississippi, once a
trackless forest, the home of the buffalo
and the wild Indian, was settled, its val
leys and plains cleared OF timber, its soil
cultivated and made TO TEEN with golden
fields of wheat and yellow maize. Its
rivers. the giant arteries of commerce,
were dotted with trading boats and float
ing palaces, and still the cry was, West
ward the star of empire takes its way" I'M
til our country was peopled from the
shores of the Atlantic, to where the sun
bids us goodnight as it drops out of sight
in the broad bosom OF the peaceful Pacific
1t was here, however, between the Sierra;
and the Coast Range, in
THE VALLEY OF THE SACRAMENTO,
Where the wanderer found that country
that haven of rest, spoken of in the Coco
Book as the ." land that flows with mill
and honey" 1t was here where he es
capped that friend of no man, rigorous
winter. 1t was here where he found {
climate so perfect that the entire year wa;
one of never-ending sunshine. 1t wa
here that the seasons lost their distin
gushing characteristics, and the three
hundred and sixty-ive days was ever ;
mixture of eternal spring and reverend
ing summer. 1t was here that flower
ever bloom, that verdure never lost its liv
ing color, that old age was rejuvenated
and youth all there was of life. Is il
strange, then, that the early adventurou
spirits, the argonauts who forced their wa,
over trackless prairies, through mountain
defiles, over SUBMITS capped with tn
SHOWS of many winters, should halt in thi
valley and exclaim, " Eureka | have a
